Free Trauma Therapy for Those Impacted by the Annunciation Catholic School Tragedy
💔 The tragic events at Annunciation Catholic School have left our community heartbroken. What happened is unimaginable, and the impact has rippled far beyond Minnesota - touching families, friends, and communities across the nation. In moments like these, when sorrow and fear run so deep, it’s important to remember that none of us have to face this pain alone.
At Sonder Behavioral Health & Wellness, we are committed to walking alongside our community during this time of grief. To offer support, we are providing free Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) trauma sessions for anyone ages 14 and older who has been directly impacted by the shooting - such as first responders, witnesses, school staff members, family members, or victims.
These sessions will be led by Ramona Pearl Hemphill-Kent, MSW, LICSW, a deeply compassionate therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals heal from trauma and loss. Trained in ART, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused CBT, Ramona specializes in guiding people through the heavy aftermath of traumatic events, offering a safe space for recovery and hope (for children under 14, Ramona can provide referrals to Sonder’s child therapists with expertise in trauma).
👉 In addition to Ramona, Sonder has a number of additional highly skilled trauma therapy providers available, and our intake team will work closely with you to ensure you’re matched with the provider who is the best fit for your needs.
